📋 Requirements

• npm or yarn
• Access to a Kubently API server

🔧 Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd nodejs-cli

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the TypeScript code
npm run build

# Create global CLI command
npm link

🚀 Quick Start

1. Initialize Configuration

kubently init

This will prompt you for:

• Kubently API URL (e.g., http://localhost:8000)
• Admin API Key

2. Start Debug Session

# Debug specific cluster
kubently debug my-cluster

# Start without cluster (specify in queries)
kubently debug

📝 Configuration

Configuration is stored in ~/.kubently/config.json with restrictive permissions (600).

Environment Variables

export KUBENTLY_API_URL=http://your-api-url
export KUBENTLY_API_KEY=your-api-key

Environment variables take precedence over config file values.

🎨 Debug Mode Commands

When in debug mode, you can use:

• help - Show available commands
• clear - Clear the screen
• history - Show command history
• exit or quit - Exit the session
• Natural language queries (e.g., "What pods are failing?")
